Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 1372 - 107: Rise of the Shadow

Capítulo 1372: Chapter 107: Rise of the Shadow

The retreat of the Six Great Knights dealt a disastrous blow to the morale of the Solomon fleet.

Those Solomon crew members who still didn’t understand the battle situation were already plunged into extreme chaos.

This is why Paimon’s face looked so grim at the moment!

However, he didn’t have the attention to spare for those six knights anymore.

Because the Star Sky Railgun is a legendary space fortress’ main cannon.

Neither he nor Barbatos had imagined how the Shadow Fleet managed to complete the weapon’s charging in such an intense combat environment, but now they found out, and it was already too late!

“Holy Spirit Fleet, evade.”

Barbatos raised his head, those cold eyes filled with resolve.

If sacrifices must be made, Solomon’s ace should absolutely not be among them.

“…Understood.” Paimon replied quietly. Under his command, the engines of the twelve warships, including the Main Angel, fired up, dispersing them instantly.

The Six Great Knights set a terrible precedent for the Catastrophe Fleet, and as the Ninth Knight, Paimon had to continue this unfavorable situation.

The scattering and evasion by the Holy Spirit Fleet instantly left the Catastrophe Fleet, facing the Shadow Fleet, without strong support from the rear, and they would have to face it alone.

“For the mission of my Solomon, please make sure to hold them. You will forever be engraved on Solomon’s war monument.”

Paimon’s voice clearly transmitted through the entire fleet, finally calming the chaos temporarily.

“All of us in Solomon fear nothing! Victory will ultimately belong to Solomon.”

Barbatos added at the right moment, and this sentence seemed to possess a magical power that made many captains grow frenzied.

“We of Solomon, fear nothing.”

Amidst countless loud and fervent chants, more than thirty Catastrophe battleships that couldn’t evade in time raised the main cannons of the Catastrophe Fleet, a composite of six cannons with a diameter exceeding 700mm.

They would use their firepower to give the enemy a head-on blow.

The pride of Solomon can never be abandoned at any moment.

In space, the ion glow of the giant plasma cannons flickered.

However, in the command room of the Dawn Battleship, Mu Fan stood there quietly, alone, his expression neither sad nor happy.

“Pierce through for me…”

“As you wish!” Black’s voice rang with clarity.

The almost tangible sea of blue energy instantly lit up all the lines on the ships around the rail, and then an enormous shockwave with a diameter exceeding ten thousand meters spread out.

A dazzling particle stream streaked straight into the distance.

Light through the clouds, dawn piercing through the dark!

The lead six Catastrophe Warships vibrated heavily backwards, firing their main cannons.

The purple plasma beam disappeared without a trace into the particle stream…

And the six Catastrophe Warships, before they could fire a second shot, plunged into the pure blue stream, their hulls wiped out kilometers behind, disappearing into the stream.

The bridge was erased by high temperature, the hull pierced in half, and when humans lost the protection of their warships, they discovered how weak individual power truly was.

Thousands of Solomon crew members were vacuumed out from those yet-exploded Catastrophe Warships and vaporized straight in the high temperature.

The blue dawn light crossed the battlefield from one end to the other. When the blue dawn disappeared into deep space, an ultra-long vacuum zone became visible to all.

Everything in its path, stars, humans, warships, asteroids, was wiped out without a trace.

This one shot completely divided the formation of the Catastrophe Fleet, destroying 122 heavy battleships and 282 Thunder Ships.

This one shot happened to hit the bows of two Ninth-Tier warships in the Holy Spirit Fleet, causing them to disappear instantly, spinning away under that strong impact.

The sheen on ten other warships dulled instantly, sparks flying, seemingly taking heavy hits.

The just-escaped Six Great Knights were all panting heavily.

This was undoubtedly the Federation’s National Weapon, the Fortress Star Annihilation Cannon!

No, it was far more terrifying than the Fortress Star Annihilation Cannon, sweeping through the entire space battlefield with a single shot.

“The attack intensity of this weapon… It’s terrifying.”

When faced with facts, any explanation seemed pale and powerless.

[Engine overload, energy bay exhausted, weapon system shut down.]

At the bow of the Dawn Battleship, the 64 Firmament Arrow Ships forming a circle instantly disbanded after completing their mission, their broken hulls being dragged by pre-prepared logistics ships toward Shadow Island.

Shadow Island had a complete industrial manufacturing chain. As long as it was metal, under Shadow Island’s strong self-regenerating ability, it could be transformed into powerful war weapons again.

…

The Dawn Battleship, having lost all of this, left the battlefield silent for a full three seconds.

Possessing the Firmament Arrow Formation with its strong cluster strike capabilities.

Possessing the Dawn Railgun that could pierce through any defenses.

The Nether Fire Assault Ship, willing to sacrifice one hundred percent for victory.

The Demon God Asura capable of instantly killing peak forces…

This battle of the Shadow Fleet completely shattered the fighting spirit of the Solomon fleet.

Barbatos removed his hat and slowly placed it on the control console, taking off his cloak to reveal that mature yet cold face.

“From this moment… we are defeated.”

Continuing the fight, even if victorious, would be a defeat.

The entire Catastrophe Fleet of six thousand ships is the powerful backing Solomon uses to casually threaten any Planet.

Now, only 1,840 remain.

If they continue to fight, all will fall here, and Solomon will no longer be able to maintain its dominance in the Dark World.

That result is more terrifying than death.

“Holy Spirit Fleet is responsible for rear guard, the entire army… retreat.”

Paimon, under Barbatos’s indication, took over command and calmly issued the retreat order.

Under the intervention of his powerful thought waves, the chaotic fleet began to stabilize.

Waves of firepower reignited.

“Not returning courtesy is indeed rude,” Mu Fan’s indifferent voice echoed in the public channel.

All the Gatepost Knights suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat!

In the Destiny Battleship, Qi Longxiang raised both hands, “What’s the acceptable loss?”

“Total,” Mu Fan coldly replied.

Qi Longxiang’s lips curled up into a smirk, and the blood in his entire body finally began to race.

Apart from the Star Annihilation Fleet of the Galaxy Federation, he was commanding what was almost the strongest fleet in this universe.

The enemy is retreating. If he doesn’t leave them bleeding, how could he live up to his professional military acumen?

“Shadow Fleet, lock on to the entire field.”

Over a thousand points of light simultaneously completed locking on the light screen at this instant.

“All ship firepower allocation completed.”

Qi Longxiang’s voice rang out methodically, with the massive data provided by Black ensuring double insurance for his command.

“All ships, enter maneuver posture, cannon angle vector adjustment enabled in real-time.”

“Maintain for ten minutes.”

“Shadow, counterattack.”

The Shadow Fleet, which had been in a defensive posture from the start, suddenly launched a strong assault against the dark dominator, Solomon!

Waltz of the battlefield vs Federation’s Military God!

Paimon’s eyebrows furrowed tightly; he now had to do his utmost to preserve Solomon’s living forces.

“1034 evade 40 degrees, accelerate by 20%.”

“Evade large Light Spears, use side armor to brace for 10 seconds, switch defensive positions.”

…

The Solomon Fleet sometimes dispersed and sometimes gathered like a school of fish, desperately avoiding the terrifying Light Spear Arrow Formation.

The artillery coverage from both sides looked almost artistic, delightful to behold at this moment.

But when it came to the attitude of the two commanders, they were worlds apart.

Qi Longxiang calmly looked ahead, “Sacrifice all assault ships to pin down the enemy.”

“One for one, make them stay.”

The Shadow Fleet went completely berserk at this moment.

After ten minutes…

The Shadow Fleet, now down to only 700 ships, suddenly ceased fire and returned safely.

In the bridge of the Main Angel, Paimon’s face was ashen, and he spat out blood with a wow.

The Catastrophe Fleet, under the mad dog-like pursuit of the Shadow Fleet, was worn down by half.

Currently, only… 907 remain.

The Ice Feather Star battle between Catastrophe and Shadow ended, but the turmoil ignited in the Dark World by this battle report had only just begun!

“What! The Solomon Catastrophe Fleet is almost annihilated?”

“The new force [Shadow] has risen in the Third Star District?”

“Ghost God Asura has reappeared!”

Only one hour later, this news quietly began to circulate in the Dark World.

Capital Star, Iris Family.

Sigler Palma, listening to the buzz of discussions below, crushed the crystal glass in his hand with a bang.

The voices below instantly died out, and a dozen eyes simultaneously turned towards Sigler Palma.

“Irregular troops can never make it to the stage, Solomon’s bunch of—trash!” 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Sigler’s cold gaze swept over them, “What you need to prepare for next is the contention for large Ancient Relics. If you fail again this time, you can just go die.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

“Dismissed.”

Once the hall was empty again, Sigler leaned back on his chair with his eyes closed, his left hand clenching, veins bulging.

This time, he truly didn’t expect…

Solomon would suffer heavy blows.

This was the second severe news since discovering the Saint Luo’s invasion in the Luqin Universe!
